The seemingly easy game of the day was the tough match of the day between Lens and Auxerre. Auxerre, who are in the relegation zone, struggled against championship candidate Lens. Lens won the game, albeit hard, and reduced the points difference with PSG to 3.
Marseille will have made good use of the break in the league, I can say that they put themselves back in the race with their 4th win in a row. They have recovered and I would like to say that they are back in form. The league starts again now and I think it will be more competitive.

Marseille continue to win in the league. With this victory they have made their winning streak six games now and they haven't been losing a game for seven weeks as well. Their performance against Lorient today was really lovely. Especially the first half was very impressive for them. Lorient tried to balance the game in the second half but Marseille still managed to score two more goals and finished them off by 3-1.
This wasn't a very easy game for them normally because Lorient are one of the decent teams of the season now. After stealing a point from Monaco, Marseille needed to be careful. They really did it and just played their usual game.

Rennes vs PSG
Rennes is ranked fourth. A difference of 13 points. PSG are number one with 47 points and still quite comfortable with a six-point gap with Lens at number 2.
But PSG must win, although they must go to Rennes' home ground at Roazhon Park. This is to keep a safe distance of points. Perhaps this will also be the first time in the World Cup that Messi, Neymar and Mbappe have played in an official match. At full strength, I think PSG can win. But they have to be wary Rennes is not a weak club.

We know apart from their loss to Clermont Foot last week their opponents PSG will play with a full squad I think because there really is no reason for them to hold back players in this game.
PSG are clearly superior in every way and I don't think Rennes will get a chance apart from them defending continuously while hoping to maximize a draw.

Lens with another win today against Auxere, it was a tough one and it was thanks to a penalty but the most important thing in these type of games are the three points, i did not expect auxere to put up this much resistance especially after seeing their poor performance and how fragile their defense is.
The very hard match of the 2 teams made it very difficult for them and 1 Penalty goal managed to make Lens bring 3 points when playing at home in this match.I was really worried because in this match I bet quite a lot but fortunately the Penalties made this an advantage for Lens. On the other hand Isaak Toure's red card also made it more difficult for Auxerre in this match and I was pretty sure after that with my bet.

Lens had a pretty interesting match against Auxerre to be honest. I would have expected a much more comfortable win by a big score difference. But instead they didn't even have goal attempts that were close to the number of chances they had in the first half after Auxerre got that red card. Lens should be more productive in such easy matches to prove themselves worthy for a title race.
For now it still feels like Marseille can get past them soon and finish the season ahead of them as well. It depends on how effective Marseille will use their squad quality.

Lens will fight against another team who in the relegation zone Auxerre and actually Auxerre statistics was more worst than Strasbourg so this is should be easy match for Lens and currently Auxerre has conceded 40 goals which makes them as the team with the worst defense in France league and i think it's not so hard to scoring at least 2 goals or more if Lens can performing well today especially Lens has Lois Openda who on fire with 9 goals during this season but i wish Lens will be more pay attention to their defense because lately their defense were quite poor and 2 goals from Strasbourg proven Lens have to improved their defensive lines however i think Lens win still the best option for this match
Lens clearly excelled in the match against Auxerre, but sometimes Lens has a pretty bad record against weak teams. Lens must be able to give their best performance so that every opportunity they have can result in a goal and Auxerre I don't know for sure when they will get another victory when what they face in the match will be the team in 2nd place in the standings. I hope it will be an easy game for Lens to continue to keep PSG at the top of the standings.Well, it's a shame that a team like Lens is in these instances, especially after beating a PSG that took it as it was, I think they won't go down any further, they have a mental commitment to themselves and their fans, I don't I think they are going to be disappointed, this is where a battle for the teams is quite strong, I would not like to be in their place, because every move they make in the game may require being out of Ligue 1, and the truth is not it's that fair of course Nothing is fair in football, only those who manage to score the goals are determined to win, that's how it works, and Lens have earned a lot of respect from others.
Franck Haise confirms Adrien Thomasson set to feature against Auxerre for Lens
Quote
Speaking to L’Équipe, Lens general manager Franck Haise has confirmed that new signing Adrien Thomasson should be set to be involved in the Sang & Or’s clash against Auxerre, being eligible to be picked by the boss for the Ligue 1 fixture. “He should be eligible to play,” said Haise, “He’s already played a lot this season with Strasbourg so he is in good shape”.
Thomasson, who was recently acquired by RC Lens for €3.9m from Strasbourg, should be expecting a debut with his new team in the match against Auxerre on Saturday at 5pm. Despite only participating in a few collective training sessions, Haise says that Thomasson is familiar with the game plan and is ready to contribute to the team.

Messi, Mbappe and Neymar are the best frontlines any club could possibly hope for, they are good pairing on the pitch. PSG at the top spot with consistent wins in games, stats from their last five games WWLWW and their opposition Rennes ranked 4th on the table with stats in their last five games WLWWL. With good records, PSG are on the lead to win Rennes, not an easy win because Rennes new head coach, Bruno Génésio impacting new game plans in the minds of the players unlike the former coach who was reluctant in his actions.

The result of the Rennes-Psg match is very important. In France, the league race is not easily concluded against Psg. They dominate the league very easily. I guess Rennes will resist a lot in the match. It will be a tough match for psg. On the other hand, Lens, which is close to the top of the league, won the match and continues its race for the top.

Rennes can put Paris Saint Germain in danger, as when Lens beat them with a crushing score. In the match this time they must win because their competitors are slowly starting to approach them. But it will be even more interesting if Paris Saint Germain loses again, it will make the competition at the top even more interesting and hotter. That's what I really hope for the league to run more competitively than usual. But Rennes will determine what I expect in this game. Rennes is ranked fourth. A difference of 13 points.

People expecting Mbappe and Messi to have a problem with each other are making nonsense out of nothing. I mean this is a duo that earns more than 100 million euros a year together, that should tell you how much professional they are, and they make nearly 10 million a month, meaning about 2 or so million a week, and hundreds of thousands of dollars per day, tens of thousands of dollars per hour they are alive. If we look at it as just the games? Millions of dollars per game they play.
How could you expect such professionals to be like high school kid drama? Of course that won't happen, of course they will be fine with each other, they know this is just business.

despite playing at home, Rennes is not in good shape after the previous game they lost against Clermont 2-1. what's worse, it was two of their players received red cards.
against PSG, it will be quite difficult for Rennes. even though they are not a weak team when some of their main players can't play. it was a loss that would seriously affect their game.
if PSG will come with their best squad, this could be a nightmare for Rennes.

Forget the first position because all the teams in Ligue 1 will not be able to take it from PSG, but in terms of competition for position 2, I think they can still do it, even though in the last 3 matches they got 2 draws and under these conditions, Marseille is slowly catching up.
Marseille's condition is much more convince with the record that in their last five matches in Ligue 1, Marseille has successfully won all of their matches.
Lens' mistakes in recent weeks give the way for Marseille to catch up in the standings, currently the two teams are only two points apart. The competition for 2nd place will be even more exciting with the current point difference

Should be, this fight is an easy match for Lens. especially in this match, Lens played as the home team. Lens, had to pay for this match with a win that was previously held to a draw by Strasbourg. after all, Auxerre is not a tough team they are in the relegation zone with 18th place. in the last five matches, Christophe Pelissier's troops have not even been able to win any matches, either at home or at home. So obviously, Auxerre needs a win to push their rankings into the safe zone. however, they have little choice but to play defensively and counterattack if they have the chance. because after all, their current opponent was a very tough team.
As for the home team, I agree with you that sometimes Lens has difficulty against weak teams. so, three points is a mandatory result for Lens to get in this fight. because, if Lens are again held to a draw in this match their ranking will automatically be taken over by Marseille if Igor Tudor's troops overthrow Lorient.

In today's matches I bet on 3 home wins. The most difficult task seems to have Olympique Marseille, which will play sixth in the table Lorient. OM very rarely loses points at their stadium and I think that they will manage today as well. Lens unexpectedly only drew with weak Strasbourg recently and I believe that today they will approach 100% focused on the match against Auxerre, so as not to score another slip-up.

I don't see a chance that Auxerre will be able to surprise this match, Lens must be able to make good use of their strengths, so in this match they will be able to win very easily. Their 4 consecutive defeats is proof that Auxerre is not a team that can be considered, unless Lens plays badly in this match. In my opinion, there is no other reason for Lens not to win against Auxerre, unless they perform badly as I said before.

Lens will be winning the match easily. lens is a strong team right now compared with auxerre which was nothing. Strasbourg is the same like auxerre caused by both were placed at the relegation zone. There's no doubt that if lens will take full points easily from auxerrre. The match that can be predicted easily. Auxerre's defense was the worst. I think lens has guaranteed to take the full points from the auxerre. Letns already aware about what has become its own weakness and i think lens will be doing so well against auxerre.
